Precautions

■ In case of a problem

Do not use the unit if smoke or a strange odor comes from the unit, or if it seems not to function correctly. Turn off the power immediately and disconnect the power cord, and then consult your dealer or an Authorized Sanyo Service Center.

■ Do not open or modify

Do not open the cabinet, as it may be dangerous and cause damage to the unit. For repairs, consult your dealer or an Authorized Sanyo Service Center.

■ Do not put objects inside the unit

Make sure that no metal objects or flammable substance get inside the unit. If used with a foreign object inside, it could cause a fire, a short-circuit or damage. Be careful to protect the unit from rain, sea water, etc. If water or liquid gets inside the unit, turn off the power immediately and disconnect the power cord, and then consult your dealer or an Authorized Sanyo Service Center.

■ Be careful when handling the unit

To prevent damage, do not drop the unit or subject it to strong shock or vibration.

■Do not install this unit close to magnetic fields

The magnetic fields may result in unstable operation.

■Protect from humidity and dust

The internal synchronization (INT) is used as an initial setting. In this setting, the vertical synchronization tends to be unstable when multiple cameras are connected through the camera switcher and the camera to be monitored is switched. In this case, use the following steps to adjust the vertical synchronization phase.

1Use the joystick lever (yx) to select [SYNC], use the lever (vw) to select “L-L”, and press the [ENTER] button.

The L-L SETTING screen appears.

The following methods are available for setting lens aperture.

•Auto iris (AUTO) <Initial setting>

•Manual iris (MANU)

b Auto iris (AUTO)

Automatic setting of lens aperture provides natural images even outdoors where the luminance difference is large, or in backlight conditions.

Available settings: OFF, X2, X4, X8, X16, X32

3Use the joystick lever (xy) to select [LEVEL] and use the lever (vw) to adjust the iris level.

Available settings: 0 (dark) - 100 (bright)

After completing setting, use the lever to move the cursor to [MENU] and select “BACK” or “END”.

•Electronic sensitivity boosting (SENSE UP) automatically lengthens the CCD exposure time in dark situations. Accordingly, moving target objects may cause conspicuous afterimages, blurs and white spots.

•When electronic sensitivity boosting (SENSE UP) is enabled, the electronic shutter function will not work.

•When the Day/Night function is set to “AUTO”, electronic sensitivity boosting (SENSE UP) works only while black and white image is displayed.

b Manual iris (MANU)

When the [IRIS] is set to “MANU”, lens aperture can be set manually.

Because activating the electronic iris disables the auto iris function, you need to set appropriate lens aperture using the following procedure.

1Use the joystick lever (xy) to select [IRIS], use the lever (vw) to select “MANU”, and press the [ENTER] button.

The IRIS SETTING screen appears.

The electronic iris function controls both the AGC circuit and shutter speed to change exposure value.

3Use the joystick lever (xy) to select [IRIS STOP] and use the lever (vw) to adjust the aperture opening value.

Selecting the value changes the lens aperture opening.

Available settings: 1 (close, darker) - 17 (open, brighter)

4Use the joystick lever (xy) to select [LEVEL] and use the lever (vw) to adjust the iris level.

Available settings: 0 (video level is darker) - 100 (video level is brighter)

After completing setting, use the lever to move the cursor to [MENU] and select “BACK” or “END”.

Notes on setting electronic iris (EI):

•If the iris views an unusually bright image, it can cause a smear that cannot be corrected by adjusting the light entering through the lens. In this case, arrange the physical angle of lighting in a way that will prevent on-screen smearing.

•If there is a fluorescent lighting in the camera location, flickering of the target object may occur. Changing fluorescent lighting to incandescent lighting will prevent the flickering.

•When the electronic iris (EI) is activated, the electronic shutter (SHUTTER) setting cannot be made.

b Auto trace white balance (ATW)

Even when light sources of the target object change, automatic adjustment assures capture of most suitable colors.

Use the joystick lever (xy) to select [WHITE BALANCE] and use the lever (vw) to select “ATW y”.

Auto trace white balance settings are completed when “ATW y” is selected. When an extremely bright light source is in the target object, use the mask pattern so that the light source will not be detected.

Placing mask patterns

To place a mask pattern over specific light sources in the target object, do the following.

Mask patterns can be placed only when registering a view setting file in the CAMERA VIEW screen.

3Use the joystick lever (xy or vw) to move a mask pattern to the light source area to be masked, and press the [ENTER] button.

This sets the mask pattern.

If the result of white balance adjustment is unsatisfactory, press the [ENTER] button again while “SET y” is highlighted.

After completing setting, use the lever to move the cursor to [MENU] and select “BACK” or “END”.

Fine-tuning white balance setting (GO TO MWB)

If you want to fine-tune white balance setting after one-push automatic white balance adjustment completes, you can adjust white balance manually. To adjust white balance manually, use the joystick lever (xy) to select [GO TO MWB] – “SET y”, and press the [ENTER] button.

The MWB SETTING screen appears.

For details on adjusting white balance manually, refer to the “Manual white balance (MWB)” section in the right column on this page.

You also can access the MWB SETTING screen directly by selecting “MWB y” in the [WHITE BALANCE] menu item. Whether you access the MWB SETTING screen directly or through the AWC SETTING screen, only one set of options and values in the MWB SETTING screen is stored as the manual white balance setting.
